DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING: EMILY PIKE RECAP
A 14-year-old’s name should not depend on a leaked memo to be seen. We sit down after a long day and open up about the case of Emily Pike—how a child in a group home disappeared, was later found murdered, and still no arrests have been made. We unpack why this story matters, how it connects to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Persons (MMIW/MMIP), and what it says about systems that fail the most vulnerable.
We bring in reflections from our conversation with Native drummer and singer Al Santos, whose perspective spans community, ceremony, and the unexpected places culture travels. From powwow grounds to stages abroad, Al shows how songs hold memory, ethics, and resilience. We talk about language revitalization, respectful cultural exchange, and why learning from Indigenous traditions is not nostalgia—it’s necessary knowledge for a better future. The thread runs straight through history: the Wampanoag and survival, Thanksgiving’s complex truths, boarding schools and forced assimilation, and the ways whitewashed stories distort what really happened on this land.
This is also a call to act with clarity. We share how to learn more about MMIW/MMIP, why Turquoise Alert advocacy matters, and where to find credible coverage of Emily’s case, including vigils and family statements. We ask you to listen to our full deep-dive, share the resources, and help increase pressure for justice. If culture is how memory survives, then community is how truth moves. Join us at the Mount Dora powwow the first full weekend in March to support Otter Trail and experience living tradition with respect. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and leave a review so more people find Emily’s story and the families still waiting for answers.
LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!
